Diagnosis confirmed yesterday and barely keeping it together :(

I'm with Waterstreet - hoping you're okay, Smurfette! You're sort of the pioneer for us, and you've been so kind to me. All my hopes are that you are simply resting and getting well. Much love.

Smurfette26… Glad to hear things are well with you. Yes, I am getting over the rough spots.

Was sleeping so good and the thunderstorms woke up my dog and we are up now waiting for the storm to subside. Now were watching a Christmas movie on Hallmark channel. Our fist this year. My roof is leaking and the ceiling in the living room is beginning to concave, the roofer was supposed to have fixed it two weeks ago. I am renting so all I can do is keep calling the realty office. I paid the rent yesterday and took pictures to them to show the damage. My DIL's house flooded yesterday. Poor girl was mopping up water all day yesterday and again this morning if she is up. The storms are supposed to end later today.

I have my post op Tuesday and meet with the Radiologist Oncologist Tuesday also. So I am back to waiting tosee what happens next. Those pins and needles.

Please keep me up on how you are doing. Take care, your in my prayers. Be safe and well.

Waterstreet. Just so you know Step can cause nausea without a sore throat! I just went through this. My grandson also had strep. I was nauseous for a week without a sore throat. Had a throat culture and it was positive! Hope this helps....

Donna,

I am sorry you have to go through chemo. I suggest going to the chemo boards and joining a support group. I was in March 2015. I couldn't imagine going through chemo without my wonderful group. I knew just about everything to expect and when to expect it. I knew within days when I would lose my hair and when it would start to come back. If I had a SE, I could count on someone in there to know how to treat it. They were way better than my MO. Best of luck to you. I had ILC, too.

Smurfette26 The roofer still has not showed. We have another storm system moving in tomorrow night. I guess they are going to wait till the ceiling falls.

I went for my post op today got good news and bad. Wasn't much of a visit since my BS didn't come so I had to put my list of questions back in my purse and talk to the RO about starting hormone therapy in January. They requested an appointment with the RO for the Brachytherapy for the internal radiation therapy. I have to wait till they call me to see if I can still go that route. They did remove all of the invasive cancer but found anothe small mass of DCIS it was removed also. The RO said it was almost cancer and that it was in a milk duct. They only took one Lymph node that they found had been involved. I am really upset that we are back to playing another waiting game.

Hope you are doing much better, I still hurt, the cold air and dampness drives me up the wall. I was told I'm healing well but it will take time. Give yourself time to heal before you go doing to much. Take care, Im still keeping all in my prayers.

Smurfette, so happy to see you! I'm glad you're able to get out, even if it's just a little. Go out when you feel like it, rest when you feel like it. Maybe our lesson here is to slow down and listen to what we need rather than pushing so hard all the time. I know Miss-100-hour-weeks could use a little of that, lol!

If you're headed into summer and chemo, it's probably the best time, you'll be nice and cool. Although if you'd like a nice lightweight cap knit for you, I'm about to have some free time on my hands!!!!

Huge hugs for you, Smurfette.

Yep, we've got the rains here. But it was dry for sooooooooooooo long. I agree, though. Waterstreet and I should take a recovery celebration invasion, I mean, trip to Australia. XD
